Recycled fertilisers
contribute to a more circular agriculture with less impact on the environment
Just as good but better
Why use recycled fertilisers?
Our project aims to increase the reuse of three plant nutrients, i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Currently, farmers and horticulturalists mainly use non-renewable or energy-intensive fertilisers.
This website provides information about recycled fertilisers and their many benefits.
Why still use artificial fertilisers when recycled fertilisers are just as good?
Recycled fertilisers are recovered from animal manure or municipal waste and consist of upgraded nutrients (N, P and/or K).
Using these fertilisers instead of chemical fertilisers has no negative impact on crop yields or soil life. Their use does however contribute to a more circular agriculture with less impact on the environment.
Growing interest in Europe
A survey among farmers and horticulturalists in Belgium, Germany, France, Ireland and the Netherlands demonstrated an increasing interest in fertilisers recycled from animal manure and urban green waste, among others.
